About SVH 5-Finger Hand
SVH 5-Finger Hand is SCHUNK's servo-electric anthropomorphic gripper for research, service robotics and human-robot collaboration. It provides 20 mechanical degrees of freedom through nine powered axes in a human-scale left- or right-hand form.
The current left-hand variant weighs 1.3 kg, operates at 24 V and communicates over RS-485. SCHUNK lists a maximum 0.85 kg workpiece weight for collaborative applications, while other form-fit applications follow separate load limits.
